Thirteen Pounds - Day 1

I've tried for four years since my son was born to lose 13 pounds. I'm 150, I want 137. I don't need to look 20 again, I just don't want to look 4 months pregnant. Nothing else has worked, so I'm going to start being accountable to a computer and see if this works.

Despite the Blog title I'm not a slave to a number...I've seen the light of the "eat healthy eating, choose a better lifestyle" mentality. The only problem is I haven't seen ANY change. Since August I have been working out consistently three times a week doing 1/2 hour weight training with a trainer and 1/2 hour of running, typically covering 2.5 to 3 mile distance. This is a realistic plan for me. As for eating, I think I eat healthy- perhaps that is where I'm falling short. But my clothes are tighter since I started, and my weight is up 4 lbs, its frustrating. I'm looking for a small change to encouragement me to continue and I'm getting nothing.
